What People Say

Information Technology Consulting

"A good consulting firm has to have depth of experience in best practices, combined with a thorough understanding of what makes a client's situation unique. Ursa Major Consulting gets top marks in both categories. It is with great pleasure that we recount our experience with this firm.

We needed help with information technology to improve our marketing and to make our internal communications more effective. We had specific objectives in a request for proposals, and in evaluating the responses we decided that Ursa Major Consulting would give the best value for the money. In fact, we got superior service that went way, way beyond our expectations."
